Priority
Rank
Justification
Currently there is a part time Clerk II. The workload of the program
regarding tracking students, internships, and classes continues to expand. A
part-time student assistant could greatly assist in the student intake process
and database updates.
The program cannot grow without additional advertising materials to recruit
new employers and students. The materials, which are reproduced through
Graphic Impressions, are used in Employers’ Packets mailed out to new
internship sites, student recruitment in internships and Work Experience
classes, as well as at employer presentations.
Title V documents must be reproduced for the Work Experience classes.
Such reproduction involves all Work Experience classes, which number
hundreds of students each semester.
Each year a four-day career conference is held. This year, it is in Oakland.
The $250 would cover the registration fee only.
